Breaking news

It's starting to look like this story might turn into a big disappointment. Some reporters are saying Musharif has made similar claims before and couldn't produce. Also, there seems to be a maze of tunnels in the area that, unless they can locate and block all the tunnel exits, there is usually an escape route for anyone important.

They are saying this is how Osoma escaped when he was surrounded in Afghanistan last year. He had wives, kids, and an entourage with him and they all escaped through tunnels.

Guess we will find out soon.

Ha. The world is same whether it is a thirld world country or the top class country. The poor remains poor, irrespective of what grades the poor gets. It is matter of connections, not GPA (used to be, not any more). only 1/100th of the Poor with some guts move up.

just my 2cents.

I can speak from both sides of the coin having grown up dirt poor and now being in the top 2% as far as income and networth goes. If you bust your ass youll do it, and if you bust your ass someone will see that and you will get the contacts. "I dont know anyone so I cant move up in life" is an excuse. Get off your ass and meet someone.

although i dont know the numbers...I can assure you that just from the random smaple ( the tv coverage of the War ) ....75% front liners are Black or hispanic.( a number i just shot out me ass )

You would be totally wrong. Most of them are white. The blacks and hispanics tend to take non combat jobs that translate to real life skills. White kids join the Infantry, Armour and Artillary and are represented at a much higher % then in the general population.

Yeah this is bullshit. Connections don't mean squat except in certain fields and even then, you better have the resume to back it up. No one is going to vouge for you only to made out a fool when you turn out to be a real slacker.

I don't have any connections and I made a pretty good life for myself through hard work, sacrifice and taking a lot of risks. That's the american way. Stop holding your hand out for hand me downs. Most of the people who I know who are poor, don't really mind being poor. They get use to it. They just don't have the desire to step up in life and thats fine. Nothing wrong with that.

They also don't have to worry about working 80 hours a week, they don't have to work in a high stress environment, they don't have people relying on them, they don't have to make any deadlines, take any risks, or make any life long sacrifices, to them, they see their life as a good deal. Sometimes I envy them, I wish my life could be that simple.

I don't always agree with you, but in this case I think you are 100% spot on.
 
GO to the DOD website....the racial break down of the Army is ther and is public information.

UR WRONG , Blacks and hispanics do make up the majority of Infintry in the ARMY AND MARINECORE.......

Minorites have a greater pressence in the ARMY and MARINES,
there is a lager % of whites compared to Minorities in the AIRFORCE and NAVY is the closes FORCE to a balance representation.

So, once again SCRUBS post shit out of their arses,,,,DO UR HOMEWORK BEFORE CALLING SOMEONE OUT ON MAKING A MISTAKE.
